The psychological benefits of rhinoplasty

August 5, 2013

Many clients come in looking for a change in their face to look better. One of the neglected benefits after rhinoplasty surgery is the overall confidence level of our clients. In the appropriate, and I mean appropriate, client, a change in the shape of the nose has been proven to increase confidence while making you a happier person. This is similar to people who get braces to straighten their teeth, they tend to smile more (to show off their nice teeth), which makes them more happy and attract happier people. If you have been self-conscious about your nose, or how it looks in pictures that you don’t like to take pictures, then a rhinoplasty may have a positive effect on your life and outlook.

“This past year I have been freaking out about my SMILE LINES. I hate wearing make up during the week. I love keeping my face fresh and clean – and most importantly YOUNG! Instead of resorting to concealer to hide my deep lines around my mouth I chose to see Dr. Shemirani for a Juvederm

Have a question?

Exceptional experience from start to finish! Dr. Nima’s careful, artful and comprehensive examination of my face lead to results that exceeded all my expectations. Shannon (the nurse) was fantastic! So friendly and helpful. Dr. Nima answered all my questions and calmed my nervousness with care. I felt completely comfortable going forward with Dr. Nima’s recommended treatment plan (it’s very easy to trust his artistic eye!) Overall I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and result! Highly recommend!

It’s always a pleasant experience going to Dr. Nima’s office. His staff is beyond welcoming and friendly. He genuinely cares about his patients and the results they desire. I went to Dr. Nima for Botox to reduce my jawline, and the results are better than I could have imagined. He is very talented and always willing to answer any questions, making the experience very comfortable. Highly recommended!

I went to Dr Shemirani for help correcting a bad eyelid surgery where the incisions were made too high and uneven. after visiting a number of beverly hills doctors, all of whom I felt focus more on remuneration than actually helping, I found Dr. Nima on Realself. I decided to call In his office because of all the great reviews about him. After visiting him for almost 2 years now - I can honestly say that reviews don't lie. My first impression of Dr. Shemirani was that he was very empathetic and easy to talk to. He really spent the time trying to figure out the best and minimally invasive treatment that doesn't disrupt my life – using Botox to even out the incisions. The result was better than expected. I really thought that I would have had to go thru another 3 surgeries to have this corrected and as such - I really do think Dr Shemirani is an exception plastic surgeon. Not only was he able to clearly covey the technicality of his treatment (which shows that he is very professional and knowledgeable), he also has an acutely artistic eye which I think is a crucial attribute of a good plastic surgeon - you'd be surprised how many surgeons out there who would put themselves in the “cosmetic” category but only know how to perform the surgery while lacking the artistic judgment. The technical and artistic balance is very rare.
Since going to Dr. Shemirani I went from hiding at home to having a normal life and being able to work and socialize. He has been a real friend to me and I really can't say enough good things about him and his staff - i would give way more than 5 stars!!

I was looking for a surgeon for a surgical rhinoplasty. I had a deviated septum which made me snore very loudly, some friends even said that it sounded like I was dying so they would try and wake me up to see if I was alright, so embarrassing. I had met 2 surgeons, the first one gave me a decent price and the consultation lasted about 20 minutes, fairly short. It was my first consultation for this sort of thing so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The 2nd surgeon I met with was Dr. Nima and his consultation was over an hour because he took the time to get to know me, he explained everything in detail; the pre/post procedure and during the surgery. Dr. Nima was incredibly personable, as was his staff Neda and Kristin. As for price, Dr. Nima was more expensive than the first surgeon but the confidence that I had that Dr. Nima would do a great job, far exceeded that of the first surgeon I consulted with. I would have rather had a good surgery instead of a surgery that might have needed revision down the road. I got the surgery back in April and just got back from my 6 month follow-up. I’m incredibly happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend Dr. Nima to anyone considering surgery.

On January 13, 2017, I had a nonsurgical revision rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Nima. My first rhinoplasty (by a different surgeon) resulted in a “polly beak deformity” and collapsed bridge. This left me with an obvious bump on my profile and a tip that looked separate from the rest of my face, because the collapsed bridge drew more attention to it. This distressing outcome made me wary of starting a relationship with a new plastic surgeon. However, beginning with my first phone call to the office, the staff at Eos Rejuvenation put me at ease. During the initial phone conversation, I was given cost estimates without having to ask. This was dramatically different from the phone conversations I’ve had with other plastic surgeon’s offices, which are often reticent to provide cost estimates. I greatly valued the openness expressed by Dr. Nima’s staff. This basis of honest communication distinguished them from the competition and has continued to last.
When I arrived at the office for my appointment, my positive impressions were confirmed. The office is welcoming, clean, tastefully decorated, and in an excellent location. When I met Dr. Nima, I was struck by his demeanor of genuine kindness. Many plastic surgeons are focused on ‘getting rid of the bad,’ but the philosophy of Dr. Nima is to bring out the natural beauty of his patients. In my other revision rhinoplasty consultations, I was made to feel insecure about the imperfections of my nose, and I felt as if the surgeons were trying to a coerce me into a procedure through panic. Dr. Nima’s consultation did not focus on these problems. Instead, he calmly outlined the ways in which my nose could be improved in a manner that made me hopeful. His kindhearted approach is what motivated me to select his office for the procedure.
Several weeks have passed since Dr. Nima performed my nonsurgical revision rhinoplasty. The procedure took about thirty minutes and instantly corrected the problems I had with my nose. The deformities which used to bring an onslaught of insecurities every time I looked in the mirror, or took a photograph, were quickly erased - as if by “magic.” Instead of an unattractive bump, I now have a beautiful profile. The bridge of my nose was filled with Retsylane and a small amount of botox was injected into the tip. I am so grateful for the expertise of Dr. Nima and the warm assistance of his staff. For the first time in over a year, I am happy with my appearance. I would highly encourage any prospective patients to trust Dr. Nima with fulfilling their plastic surgery objectives. My experience at his office with nonsurgical revision rhinoplasty was positive in every aspect. Thank you so much, Eos Rejuvenation.

Dr. Nima and his staff are so professional. The office is simple and sleek. Everyone looks fabulous and it makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. I found Dr. Nima through real self, which is a site that assists people to find the right doctors for themselves. I had my nose broken at least 4 times in my lifetime. I was beginning to have more severe breathing problems and the deviation of my nose was becoming more visible as I aged. Because I work in front of the camera, it is something I thought about doing for a long time, but then decided against, because I did not want to "lose who I was". This is one of the reasons why I chose Dr. Nima. When I went into the consultation, I felt very confident that he was listening to what I wanted and that he was going to do his best at providing me what I wanted. I also, through reading about him and visiting with him, noted that he was a perfectionist AND an artist. I wanted my doctor to be both. He specializes in nasal/facial work and that was necessary for me. I did not want someone who did all types of plastic surgery. I wanted to feel safe with someone who was dealing with my face. The one thing everyone sees. It was important to me to feel like I had found someone who was AMAZING at what they do. If interested in reading further I will post more about the experience and review further on Dr. Nima on real self. He is absolutely worth going to a consultation with, and I would trust him with my face anytime. He's very honest about what he thinks he can accomplish and very honest after the surgery as to how he felt it went. The staff is super friendly and warm. They make the surgery experience nothing but pleasant. Oh and right before the surgery, you will find yourself looking out the window at a beautiful LA scene, palm trees, blue skies and sunshine. - Maria

Dr. Shemirani is not only an exceptional plastic surgeon, but a superb healer. I had an emergency – my very old cheek implant got inflamed as a complication of an unfortunate dental sinus lift. My friend recommended Dr. Shemirani as one of the best plastic surgeons in LA. I came to his elegant office feeling totally miserable, in pain and with my cheek angrily swollen and red. His gracious and caring assistants made every effort to make me comfortable. Dr. Shemirani is warm and compassionate, and you immediately get a feeling that you came for help to a long-time friend. With no rush he explained every possible scenario that could develop with the cheek implant and an action that should be taken. He answered all my questions with great detail and patience, eliminating all my fears of the unknown. Dr. Shemirani was not in a hurry to put me under the knife preferring to put out the inflammation first. He genuinely cares and carefully considers the best options for his patients. He performed a procedure to alleviate my cheek edema and what gentle and skillful hands he has! To my surprise, it was practically painless. Dr. Shemirani was monitoring a progress of his treatment for quite a few weeks, regularly keeping in contact with me and literally nursing me through all stages of this scary experience. It’s a blessing to be treated by such a talented doctor with a big heart. I’m immensely grateful to Dr. Shemirani and his wonderful staff.

Dr. Nima is a genius!! I had a bad and over done rhinoplasty 6 months ago that left me devastated and ashamed of my face. My nose was pinched, turned up and way too short! Also was given very uneven nostrils. My intentions were never to have anything dramatic done, only very subtle changes.
To hold me over until I can get my revision at the end of this year, I did the non-surgical rhinoplasty with dermal Fillers and I’m in awe!! I look exactly how I originally wanted to and most importantly I look like me again : ) I couldn’t be happier, I actually cried when I saw myself. This experience only solidified him as my choice for my revision. He listened to everything I said I wanted and what I didn’t want, he was patient and never made me feel rushed. He’s a true artist and incredibly kind. I loved the entire staff, Shab and Kate were incredibly sweet and made me feel comfortable. From the bottom of my heart, I’m truly grateful.

Dr. Nima is brilliant. I had a split muscle in my cheek which no other doctor has ever been able to fix and he fixed it in one treatment. I highly recommend him and his practice! I’ve sent many friends there. You won’t be disappointed!

So happy with my nonsurgical rhinoplasty! Dr. Nima and nurses made me feel so comfortable for someone extremely scared of needles. They talked to me through the whole procedure. The office is also really nice and aesthetic inside :)

I love visiting Dr. Nima’s office. Everyone is always so lovely and kind. They give care with compassion and make you feel like you’re their only patient. Dr. Nima is gentle and understanding. Each treatment he has given me always looks natural. I trust this team immensely.

Dr. Nima was recommended to me after an unfortunate incident that left my face scarred. A week prior, I had been jumped and knocked unconscious with a metal pipe while walking home from an event. I had a fractured nose, fractured orbital socket and 11 stitches over my left eye. Dr. Nima treated me and put me on a healing program that has frankly been nothing short of a miracle. Within 6 weeks I'm almost back to 100%. Only a very thin line remains over my left eye, which looks to be completely healed and invisible within another 2-4 weeks. I can't thank Dr. Nima and his most professional and lovely staff enough.

The staff it self was amazing , greeting from the moment I walked in to the moment I left , they were always courteous and professional. Dr. Nima himself was amazing,he was very knowledgeable and well prepared, he brought an amazing aspect back to my life and I really don’t know how else to thank the staff and Doctors at EOS but to tell them to keep doing what they are doing cause its amazing work. Thank you so much.

Wonderful. I've had my jawline reduced with Botox, my lips enhanced and recently went in for under eye filler & cheek enhancement. I am continuously amazed with every outcome... every step of the way, I look like an improved version of my younger self!
Dr. Nima is a gifted artist and a talented surgeon who handles every procedure with utmost precision & care. I think it's uncommon to find a doctor with such a unique combination of aesthetic and technical skills. I appreciate these qualities so much and the results speak for themselves!
Additionally, Dr. Nima's staff always greet me with a warm welcome and I love that we socialize like old friends! They've helped me with skincare routines, which is a huge bonus for me.
Eos Rejuvenation has upped my beauty game in so many ways :) Thank you for everything!

I went to Dr Nima for my Botox because I wanted to look refreshed. I was worried that I would look fake and frozen but Dr Nima set my mind at ease. His staff was so friendly and informative. When I came into the office it was beautiful and clean. He used a special vibration device to reduce the pain and I barely felt anything. The results kicked in a few days later and I look so well rested. Thanks Dr. Nima and the Eos staff!

Dr Nima was already so highly rated when I came for my first visit, and I immediately saw why. He has the most relaxing and patient demeanor, a discerning eye for natural beauty and symmetry and the sturdy and confident hands of a true master. His office is modern yet luxurious, his staff is smart, supportive and welcoming and his prices are undeniably fair. I’m so grateful that this eminently talented and amazing doctor exists in a town often filled with cliques and cliches. Go to him!

First off, wow! I came in for a micro-needling session, and I was blown away by the gorgeous office. I felt very welcomed and the intake processe was quick (love that all my paperwork was electronic). The girls offered me a drink and welcomed me to the office and Shannon walked me into my room.
Shannon is truly amazing! She thoroughly explained the process to me and put me at ease... the La Croix helped too haha! You can tell Shannon is great with people, as she made great conversation and gave me helpful tips with my skin. The procedure was not at all what I thought it would be, and I noticed my ease was constantly reinforced by Shannon’s gentle touch. After we were finished, Shannon gave me a list of instructions and a few awesome samples to try. The healing process was quick and I was out and about in San Diego that weekend! My skin feels lighter, clearer, and my confidence has soared! Thank you so much Dr. Nima and thank you so so much Shannon! I will definitely be back for my regular sessions very soon!

I CAN BREATHE!!!!!😃
Dr. Nima is a MIRACLE WORKER!!
I had Septoplasty done by Dr. Nima due to a deviated septum and the results were OUTSTANDING! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! 😃👍🏼
Dr. Nima and his staff very PROFESSIONAL and FIRST CLASS! I have told at least 5 of my friends who have trouble breathing through there nose about my procedure Dr. Nima done and they will be contacting him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Doc!❤️

I love going to EOS! From the second you walk in you receive VIP treatment. Dr. Nima and his assistants all do a fantastic job. Whenever I get injections I am never worried that I am going to get bruised with Dr. Nima. I am getting married in a few months and he has helped me look great for my big day. I also have a deep scare on my nose that I have started doing microneedling on and even after 1 treatment I have seen a significant difference. I fully trust Dr. Nima with my face.

I have had the best experience with Dr Nima and his staff. After my surgery he was constantly answering my questions via text which was really assuring. His results was great. I’m really satisfied with it. He also has the best staff and they’re so kind and welcoming.

Dr. Nima is the absolute best. His staff is incredible as well; extremely accommodating and is there for you. Answers every single one of your questions and puts your mind at ease. Search no further when doing your research. Seriously take it from me, and I did extensive research for up to half a year. The results are incredible and I will not go to anyone else. Thank you, Dr. Nima. Your professionalism and surgical skill set is unparalleled. He is an artist in every way and believes in subtlety, aiming for results that are very natural yet aesthetically pleasing in every way possible.

I had been wanting a fuller and more square and well defined chin and jawline. I had considered a chin implant but was scared because of surgery and scarring and swelling.
I was referred to Dr Nima and he suggested filler. It’s fast and no downtime. I went in and go to it done and my chin looks AMAZZZZZING! Dr Nima was amazing. His office is gorgeous and his staff is very sweet. Highly recommend!!!

Literally the best!! Dr. Nima and staff are the friendliest people. I received exceptional treatment and felt very comfortable throughout the entire procedure. I would 1000% recommend going here for high quality service.

I recently had a non surgical rhinoplasty with Dr. Nima. I contemplated this procedure for a while... it was so important for me to find a board certified nose expert and I found that in Dr. Nima.
Dr. Nima began by educating me about the procedure and explained each step. He’s so skilled and talented. I was nervous and he took the time to make me feel at ease.
I didn’t know achieving a result like this was possible with fillers. I’m so happy with my results... btw ZERO downtime.
I cannot wait until I’m able to do my actual surgery with him.
Thank you so much Dr. Nima!

I have been to Eos Rejuvenation several times since I had a scar closure after Moh's surgery done on my upper lip due to skin cancer. Dr. Nima and his team are so compassionate and caring, and made sure I felt at ease during a stressful time. It has now been a year since that initial surgery and people who meet me for the first time now do not even notice the scar. Dr. Nima did a fantastic job making sure the scar would be practically invisible. I also had great experiences with micro needling and would highly recommend micro needling at Eos for aesthetics or scar treatment. I am so pleased with the results and the staff and treatment are amazing.

If you’re looking for the absolute best facial surgeon in LA, you found him. Not only are my results beautiful, but recovery was so much easier than I expected. My breathing has improved a ton, and the cosmetic results look so natural people that have known me my whole life can’t quite put their finger on what’s different. Seriously, you won't regret booking any type of procedure at Eos Rejuvenation.
